Bacon'S sense and Bacon's text racked,
Showing what a fool was Bacon.

Bacon was robber, merely.
Last, the critic, darkly brooding,
Has the final saltus taken,
Solving all the famous myst'ry
OF the "firma Shakspeare-Bac0n."
Shakespeare wrote the "Novum Org nOn;"
Bacon stole it, but suspected
How by learned future Germans
All the fraud would be detected;
And despairing of admission
Midst the philOsophic LamaS,
Like an Overrated person,
Went and wrote all Shakspeare's drama

A MURDER RECALLED.
The Bondsmen or Herman Mittman
Called to Judgment.

Yesterday County Attorney Slmeral
filed a petition in the district court on be.
half of the state of Nebraska against Her
man Mittman, Gottlot Zimmerman and
William Mack, praying for the payment of
81, 900 and costs of suit. II is alleged that
at the January term of the court
information for murder in the second de-
gree was filed against said Mittman; that
on the thirtieth day of March following
the defendants Zimmerman and Mack,
entered into bonds in the sum of $1,000
for the appearance of Mttman at the
May term of the court, and on the fif-
teenth of June, during said term, the
defendant was called for trial, but did
not appear, and his bonds were forfeited.
Hence the state prays Judgment on the
forfeiture for the amount named.
II will be remembered that Mittman IS
the burly sa!oonkeeper who shot and
instantly killed Walter Durham, a bridge
contractor, on September 20, 1886. The
murderous affair occurred in Mitt-
mans saloon at Millard and WAS
considered so unprovoked that Mittman
came very near being lynched Durham
was au expert at his business and consid'
cred a quiet. unoffensive man, He was
one of the trusted employees of Costing Il
Mallory, prominent railroad contractors.
